Some top four-larging from Noel today. Getting Noel's method in R3 in 30 seconds is very impressive, and would have been even more so had there not been a couple of simpler methods.

I wonder whether Noel chose that method on purpose or whether it was genuinely the only method he spotted? I can imagine he maybe just went to crazy 4 large mode immediately and so never considered anything else, but I know on something like that the first thing I do is see if I can get the factorisation.

I saw 2x300 pretty quickly and just got stuck on that to be honest, couldnt look at anything else the rest of the time. Whilst my competitor thought i went 'round the houses' im pretty sure we both used all the numbers, so he can suck it.
